Apple engineers have already included in iOS the necessary tools for recording video off the display of the iPhone XR without special effort or third-party guidebooks. Learn about this functionality in the guide to recording video that is part of our new article.
iPhone XR screen recording with built-in iOS app
An already preinstalled video recording feature appeared in the iOS 11 update. In order for the recording feature to appear in the on-system interface, it must be activated.
- Launch the Settings app;
- go to the “Control Points” menu;
- tap “Customize User Controls”.
- Tap the “Screen Recording” option
To access the audio recorder while following the onscreen directions, swipe from the top-right corner of the screen to the round recording icon.
After that, press firmly on the button to begin the recording process. If you are not using the controller, a pop-up icon in the uppermost lefthand corner of the screen will indicate the recording mode’s status.
Record iPhone XR screen when using Mac computer, PC
In addition to the OEM iOS utility, you can record video from the smartphone screen using the QuickTime Player program. To do this, you’ll need:
- Mac running OS X 10.10 Yosemite or higher
- Any mobile device with iOS 8 or higher;
- Included Lightning cable.
In addition, you must allow QuickTime Player to access the webcam (only applicable to macOS 10.14 Mojave). If access to the camera is denied, you won’t be able to select the iPhone as the source.
To start recording using your Mac, follow these steps:
- Connect your device to your computer and start QuickTime Player;
- Right-click on the player icon in the Dock;
- Select the “New video recording” option. A window with a web camera should appear on the screen;
- Click on the arrow next to the red record key and select iPhone as the source;
- Press the red record key to start capturing the image. Press the key again to stop recording and save the video file.
